Original: (from de:criminalize) 'ON MONDAY, D. FROM SOUTH SUDAN WILL STAND TRIAL AND FACE 25 YEARS IN PRISON FOR "SMUGGLING" Next

A young man from South Sudan identified only as D. is due to stand trial on Monday, 5 October, in Chania, Crete, facing up to 25 years in prison on people-smuggling charges. He was arrested in January near the Cretan coast after arriving in Greece. Activists are calling attention to his case, arguing he is being criminalized for migration rather than trafficking.

Why now: His trial begins Monday, prompting supporters to draw attention to the criminalization of migrants arriving in Greece.
